Ready for this week to start winding down? Joshua Tree National Park is home to two species of sidewinders, the Mojave Desert Sidewinder and the Colorado Desert Sidewinder. These animals' unique style of locomotion helps them move on sandy slopes. Reptiles are especially well suited for life in the desert because they require relatively little water and can get all they need from the food that they eat. Some snakes may go their entire lives without ever taking a drink of liquid water. Wild anima

Wildlife in Joshua Tree should always be observed from a distance, kept wild, and never handled or fed. Giving animals space helps them stay healthy, safe, and resilient in their natural habitat. ❤️ | Joshua Tree National Park Association | Facebook
